Whenever God means to make a man great, he always breaks him in pieces first.

Poor human nature cannot bear such strains as heavenly triumphs bring to it; there must come a reaction. Excess of joy or excitement must be paid for by subsequent depressions. While the trial lasts, the strength is equal to the emergency; but when it is over, natural weakness claims the right to show itself.

It is the surest proof of man's natural enmity against God that he dares to impute falsehood to one who is truth itself.

We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us.

There are some things that can be learned by the head, but Christ crucified can only be learned by the heart

A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel.

Above all I commend the study of Christ. Let Him be your library.
